WELCOME!

Welcome to the web site of the Kansas Association of American Educators! Like many other teachers, you may be searching for an alternative to teacher unions. KANAAE provides you the choice you deserve.

Our members have joined for a number of reasons. Many join KANAAE for the low-cost liability insurance and legal services included in the professional and student dues.

Some members don't like the fact that union dues are used to promote a controversial social agenda and political candidates contrary to their beliefs. KANAAE does not support or endorse candidates. While many of the social issues are important, they are a matter for individual decision and action - not that of your professional association. We believe a professional educational association should be concerned with education.

While we all feel we do our jobs well, we can't ignore the problem of low public esteem for our national education system. We can continue to protect and promote the status quo as the unions do, or we can become a source of renewal and revitalization. KANAAE provides the means to unite with other like-minded educators to accomplish this.

KANAAE is an organization dedicated to rebuilding an educational system that will stress academics while integrating instruction in character, citizenship, and our common heritage and traditions.

We are excited about the future of education. We hope our excitement is contagious. Join us in our dynamic movement!
